This book was purchased for summer reading for my daughter’s upcoming AP English class. The book is a little pricey for a new soft cover book but it was even more expensive in the traditional brick and mortar book store so I was happy to get an almost ten dollar price break. The book shipped quickly as well which was great! Definitely recommend buying this book new through Amazon!

Honestly, best book I got for my class. It came brand new without any damages even though I got it used. It came very quickly due to the prime membership I have, and I have no complants what-so-ever!

Use this for class! Great book
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2017
I received this book in 3 days and also the condition was very good. However, if you are planning to buy 4th edition of this book, you should go for that. Because 3-4 essays are different in this book comparing to the 4th edition.
